Pittsburgh Steelers news, rumors and injuries

Pittsburgh Steelers LB Ryan Shazier (spine) has been working out at the team's facility on a daily basis and has been watching film with coaches or sitting in on scouting meetings, according to general manager Kevin Colbert.

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent OG Chris Hubbard likely will receive a more lucrative offer from another team this offseason and is not expected to re-sign with the Steelers, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.

Pittsburgh Steelers FS Mike Mitchell likely will be released this offseason because he is scheduled to count $8.1 million against the salary cap in 2018, in the opinion of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac.

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent RB Le'Veon Bell and the Steelers have been in talks about a potential long-term contract and general manager Kevin Colbert is optimistic that a deal will come to fruition. Colbert said Pittsburgh wants to keep Bell for the rest of his career if possible, but using the franchise tag on Bell again has not been ruled out.

Fantasy Tip: Who knows how long negotiations will take or if Bell will hold out if he is tagged? Both sides want a long-term deal, but that's easier said than done. Assuming he is retained by the Steelers, Bell is arguably the No. 1 fantasy player in all formats.
